Selecting quality components along with proper tuning netted us a total gain of 21hp and 15.6 lb-ft. of torque over our baseline run. A quick spin around the block and it was evident that both bottom end and midrange were like day and night for the S2K. For those who bitch and moan about spending $4180.36, MSRP is simply stated as the price that is suggested by the manufacturer. That doesn't mean you'd be paying that specific amount. Street price on the EMS can range from $2100 and lower depending on how fast you're willing to get off your lazy ass and start pricing around.
